What affects the price in Babbacombe
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire floor
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Babbacombe questions
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Babbacombe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you come to Babbacombe?
We do. We send a technician to Babbacombe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When to call us in Babbacombe

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
